Product Description
The first part of the book is an historical narrative that discusses the events and people involved in the production and passing of counterfeit currency, and the counter-measures of the Confederate Treasury Department to protect its already weak medium of exchange from losing even more value. The second part is an illustrated catalog that presents descriptions of all known examples of counterfeit Confederate currency. Over 180 illustrations are included and show most of the counterfeit notes. The appendix provides a brief, nontechnical explanation of the printing processes - relief printing, intaglio printing, and lithography - used in the mid-nineteenth century to manufacture counterfeit currency.
